Piano man Billy Joel will make his very first live look at the home of the Colorado Rockies that summer.
The Aug. 8 concert at downtown Denver’s Coors Field, announced that morning by promoter Live Nation, will be among just a couple of large-scale concerts that have been performed at the greater than 50,000-capacity baseball stadium. It follows shows from Def Leppard and Journey (July 21, 2018), both the Eagles and Jimmy Buffet (June 28, 2018) and Zac Brown Band, which has played there twice (2015 and 2017).
Coors Field’s Billy Joel concert unites other shows at baseball stadiums in the 69-year-old Grammy winner, such as Phoenix’s Chase Field (March 9), Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park (May 24) and also Baltimore’s Oriole Park at Camden Yards (July 26). Joel also includes a five-date run at New York’s Madison Square Garden starting Jan. 24.
“I couldn’t be much pleased to carry on the tradition of unforgettable shows at Coors Field with an icon such as Billy Joel,” stated Eric Pirritt, president of Live Nation Colorado, at a media announcement. “Live Nation is excited and honored to deliver this one-of-a-kind concert encounter to Colorado’s most famous ballpark. ”

The concert announcement was accompanied with a Live Nation press conference at 10 a.m. Thursday morning at the Toyota Land Cruiser Club inside the Lower Downtown ballpark. Joel last played Denver at the Pepsi Center on Sept. 16 — a two-and-a-half-hour concert that comprised nearly 30 songs and saw Joel rocking “as hard in the end because he did at the start,” according to our reviewer at that time.
“Hosting legendary artist Billy Joel at our ballpark for the very first time ever is quite exciting for everybody ,” added Greg Feasel, executive vice president and COO of the Colorado Rockies, at a media announcement.
